I think that this book was a unique, one of a kind thriller which lead to the far ends of England to discovered the untold truths. If I would give this book a number of stars I would give it 4/5. I would recommend it for a audience of 13-16 year old people. If you like books with haunted houses and

thrilling adventures this would be the right book for you! The characters in the book are about 14 year olds who explore a haunted house in England. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves reading a breathtaking quest in search of the truth.

Genuinely creepy. End wraps up too quickly, but generally atmospheric and suspenseful. Beautifully evocative of spare landscape.
